Abstract: 
The cross-diffusive Brusselator equation is a reaction-diffusive system that models complex chemical and biological process with both self-diffusion and cross-diffusion effects. These equations exhibit rich spatiotemporal dynamics, including Turing patterns and instability-driven pattern formations. Despite its significance, the computational cost of solving high-dimensional discretized versions of the cross-diffusive Brusselator equation can be prohibitive, particularly in parameter-dependent or long-time simulations. This study presents a model order reduction (MOR) framework tailored to the Brusselator equation, leveraging Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) combined with Galerkin projection along with the Discrete Empirical Interpolation Method (DEIM) and the Dynamic Mode Decomposition Method (DMD) to efficiently approximate nonlinear dynamics. The reduced models are constructed to preserve key features of the original system, including stability and accuracy, while achieving substantial computational savings. Numerical experiments validate the proposed approach, demonstrating its effectiveness in capturing the essential dynamics of the Brusselator equation under various parameter settings. These findings provide a robust pathway for efficient simulation and analysis of reaction-diffusion systems in scientific and engineering applications.
